PET/CT for distinguishing non-small cell lung cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to better tell if a lung nodule is non-small cell lung cancer. If you have a solid nodule in your lung that's at least 8 mm and might be cancer, this scan could help get a clearer diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 18 and 80 years old
- You have a solid lung nodule that is 8 mm or larger and it's suspected to be non-small cell lung cancer
- You are willing to have a PET/CT scan and then either surgery or a biopsy to check the nodule
- You (or your family member) agree to join the study and sign a consent form
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You do not have a known allergy to certain antibody products called humanized monoclonal antibodies

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that uses a special antibody to find a marker called Trop2 on many common solid tumors. It may help doctors see tumors more clearly without needing a biopsy.
This trial tests a newer PET/CT scan method to detect uncertain (indeterminate) lung nodules more accurately before biopsy or surgery. If you have a small lung nodule that doctors are still unsure about, this could help improve how nodules are found and assessed.
This study tests a new way to detect tumors by using a special injection that makes cancer cells visible on a PET scan. It may help people with renal cancer (especially clear cell type), lymphoma, or nasopharyngeal cancer.
This trial tests a special PET scan (68Ga-grazytracer) to see if it can predict early whether immunotherapy is working in people with lung cancer that can be surgically removed. If successful, this scan could help doctors tailor treatment sooner.
This trial tests a new type of PET scan that uses a special tracer to find lung tumors. The goal is to see if this scan can better detect cancer cells, which may help doctors plan the best treatment for you.
This study uses a special PET/CT scan that targets a protein called c-Met to help diagnose and stage non-small cell lung cancer. It aims to see if this imaging method can better identify tumor locations and characteristics.
